OCtoolguy Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Another question just popped into my head. Is there any lubrication required on the flex shaft? I envision something like the old speedo cables that needed occasional lubing with graphite grease. Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Good question. I read if lubricating the flex shafts for other rotary tools like Foredom and such. I have never lubricated my Dremel one and maybe I should.... OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I have 3 dremel tools I bought my first one from ace hardware many years ago I have one set up on my mini router table - 1 on my plunge router and one for regular use. The first one was bought retail and the rest was at Garage sales my plunge router and mini routing table was at garage sales and I love all 3 of them OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 This is the set I bought. I wasn't really expecting too much but I was pleasantly surprised. And for what they cost I thought I'd take a chance. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075C72PGK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 BadBob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Well, I just went to H/D and picked up my Wen set and I must say, I'm impressed. I plugged it in and ran it both with the flex shaft and without. I don't see how it could be any better. I'm sorry that Steve Good's had some runout. Mine doesn't. Now, maybe after some use it will loosen up but that's to be expected I guess. I'm very happy and for $20, I don't see how you can go wrong. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ray, I think I might purchase one.. maybe not for the drill press but I'm sure I'd use it on many other things anyway..
